"colored") "colored2") "colored3") i went with some new aplahs on this one, primarily veins and cracks available on pixologic's…
So here's the thing with zbrush: it's designed like a painting program. It's an Image Document. The 'document' is essentially a 2d document that is made out of pixels, just like photoshop documents (zbrush even exports the document as a .psd file). The difference is that each of these document pixels can also store…
Yep same here. I bought Mudbox 1.0 and Zbrush roughly about the same time, they where both pretty cheap. Autodesk chunked up the price and failed to impress me with 2.0. Pixolgic kept releasing free updates. Humm wonder which I've stayed current with... Zbrush has a higher learning curve, Mudbox is pretty much launch-n-go.…
Oh you haven't seen long yet... There isn't one way to do everything, be very skeptical of the people that say there is. There are ways that might work better but it all depends on a lot of factors . You can get there by many roads, some might take longer than others but they will get you to the same place, eventually. I'm…
It's going to feel quirky and different if you want it to behave like a 3D program. This is because its designed as a painting program that can have more in common with Photoshop or MS Paint than it will a 3D program like Max or Maya. Since you're completely new, I would suggest taking a few minutes to learn the following…

wow! Thanks for all the kind words! Let me see if I have this forum syntax correct. @warby - I agree. I was really surprised not to see more higher quality alien art. It seems like a really good midlevel modeling challenge, and it's such a cool IP, you would think it would have more of a presence. There is one really…
Recruitment Method 1. Create a Recruitment Plan. This plan should include places where you could capture the interest to potential developers. I am using teamups.net, indieteamup.com, and indiecg.com. You can make a custom page so that all the project pages made on these sites can link to a central hub page. You can also…

Mudbox is a stripped down, no frills version and very user friendly. In a few min you'll be sculpting your brains out. But once you get used to ZBrush especially V3 you'll love it. The learning curve is kind of high at first but once you get your hands dirty and read a few tutorials you'll be up and running. It scares most…
